Why? Because it shows that people here care! We are doing exactly what sports fans do, debating whether or not Lebron is overrated, whether or not Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback, whether or not Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Messi, etc. It shows passion, and the loyalty that fans show to certain players. This enthusiasm will help propel SC2's growth into 2012. As for Stephano, he's good, but let's see how he does tonight. | ||

It's exactly this irrational attachment to a team or individual that annoys me the most about sports. Most people's favorite team/player is totally arbitrary and a result of who they happened to watch first when they started getting involved. | ||

Sure it may not be as much as some pro's, but i highly doubt he practices only 3 hours a day, just sounds like bragging to me. "yea i practice 1/3 as much as most pro's and im still better than them" | ||

Bagration made a nice point and you turned it into a negative one. Good job. | ||

And if he gets stomped it will be flooded with " I TOLD YOU SO" So either way someone will have told someone else something. Everybody wins! By the way, he's the first one to say he won't do well at the BlizzCup. He's only had one week of Korean practice so far and you all should know that is not enough to start soaking in that type of training. Also, MC and Hero are both in his group. I don't know how teamhouses manage training when three players have to be ready to kill each other... | ||

"yea i practice 1/3 as much as most pro's and im still better than them" He certainly practices a lot more now, its obvious. He even streams for more than 3 hours... | ||

Maybe "Why I Think Stephano is a Really Good SC2 Player" is sensationalist by definition or not, such titles would probably normally read more like "Stephano to win Starcraft 2 Player of the Year award?" without such an award even needing to exist, the title written so that it sounds like fact when it is only there to grab your attention and supposedly to make you ponder the title's question. | ||

He never feels dominant and flawless in games. TBH though this seems like a really questionable topic to warrant its own thread... | ||

"yea i practice 1/3 as much as most pro's and im still better than them" I agree, he's sort of cocky and obnoxious. And people hype him too much. But when you get down to it, he's also good. I also disagree with the distinction between the a "Korean" and "Foreign" model. To me, there is "Practice More" and "Practice Less" | ||

The funniest is that nobody would actually be crying, but the only reason why trolls think people would, is because it would be the only and poor compensation they could ever imagine to get for being so hard-working in their trolling. | ||

And even if he goes 4-0 in his group, haters will say it's because of the bo1 Nothing gonna change wathever his results are today. Haters gonna hates. | ||
